Songs with Titles Starting with “Ko” [Great for Karaoke & Shiritori Too!] (211–220)
amberSEKAI NO OWAR
SEKAI NO OWARI hadn’t been in the spotlight for a while, but they’ve just dropped a hit tune: Kohaku (Amber).
When you think of SEKAI NO OWARI, you probably picture vocalist Fukase’s striking high tones, but this track tones that element down.
As a result, for a SEKAI NO OWARI song, the overall range is narrower and easier to sing.
Men with a typical vocal range should be able to sing it in the original key and aim for a high score.
Specimen of HappinessMinimum Zeke
Minimum Sieg is a three-piece rock band from Niigata Prefecture.
They may not be widely known to the general public, but if you’re a fan of Japanese rock, you’ve probably heard their songs at least once.
Among their tracks, the one I especially recommend is “Kōfuku no Hyōhon” (Specimen of Happiness).
The vocal range is about average; the chorus features falsetto, but it sits at a comfortable height—neither too low nor too high—and the song as a whole stays in the mid range, so it’s quite singable in the original key.

Released in May 2005, the track was chosen as the theme song for a Fuji TV drama and became a major hit.
Holding an important place in Crystal Kay’s musical career, it continues to be cherished by many fans.
It’s a song we especially recommend to students approaching graduation or to anyone experiencing a farewell with someone dear.
It will surely give you the courage to look forward.

It’s a perfect song for releasing work and everyday stress.

Their diverse body of work, including albums like “Furueru” and “Cosmic City,” showcases an evolution that weaves in pop and ballad elements as well.

While remaining independent and avoiding affiliation with major labels, they’ve carved out a solid presence in Japan’s rock scene.

A ballad that evokes deep empathy, woven from tranquil acoustic guitar and delicate vocals.
In this piece, Ken Kamikita turns inward, expressing the emotions and conflicts that lie deep within his heart.
It portrays a heartfelt plea to have one’s existence acknowledged, the anxiety and confusion of searching for the meaning of life, and the complex state of finding a kind of solace in the world’s indifference.
